Social data - public profiles

Scrape Twitter/X profile data without buying into API pricing games.

This actor is aimed at teams that need profile metrics and recent tweets - follower counts, bios, tweet history, and engagement data - from public X profiles. It is useful when the buyer wants operating data, not another social listening SaaS bill.

Profile metrics + recent tweets

No official X API dependency

What teams use it for

Public profile extraction for people who need evidence, not dashboards.

Influencer research

Check profile size, posting pace, and visible engagement before sponsorship or partnership outreach.

Competitor monitoring

Track executive commentary, account activity, and public messaging changes without manual checking.

Journalism and analysis

Capture timestamped public statements with metrics while the posts are still live and easy to verify.

What you get

  • Profile metadata such as bio text, follower counts, and account details.
  • Recent tweets with visible engagement metrics for downstream analysis.
  • Input controls for profile list, tweet count, and reply inclusion.
  • Exportable data for research pipelines and internal dashboards.

Truth in positioning

  • This page sells access to public profile data, not guaranteed full-platform firehose coverage.
  • The actor is strongest for profile-centric research and monitoring flows.
  • If a buyer wants full social listening, route them to a broader stack after the data-access wedge closes.

Sample input

Fast enough for a cold prospect to understand in one glance.

Quick-test shape preserved from the actor notes:

}

Why search intent is strong

People search for "Twitter profile scraper" because the official path got expensive.

Market pain

The official X API became a budgeting problem for small research and growth teams.

Operator outcome

Get public profile metrics and recent tweets into a dataset without building an extraction stack in-house.

Conversion path

Owned landing page qualifies search traffic, live Apify listing closes the run.
